In the suburban villa.
Father Su glared at the person before him, his voice cold as he commanded,
“Repeat what you just said.”
The subordinate, trembling all over, stuttered, “News came from the island, the two people locked up there… they’ve escaped.”
In a fit of rage, Father Su grabbed a glass from the table and hurled it to the floor. The glass shattered, and its fragments embedded themselves in the subordinate’s hand, from which fresh blood flowed incessantly.
The subordinate, too frightened to resist, bowed his head once more.
Father Su, gritting his teeth, demanded, “When did they escape?”
“Five… five days ago…” the subordinate replied.
Furious, Father Su’s eyes widened as he rebuked, “What are you all doing usually? So many of you and you couldn’t watch two people! Search, go find them now. If you can’t, I’ll lock all you useless ones on the island!”
Terrified, the subordinate knelt down, repeatedly assuring, “Please calm down, sir. We will definitely find them!”
Father Su threw another glass, “Get out!”
Gu Dai planned to head to the island immediately but delayed a few days, fearing to arouse suspicion from Gu Zhe and Meng Xian.
For the next two days, Gu Dai, unable to concentrate on work, postponed all her affairs. Along with Su Ting, they took their parents for a thorough tour of the Capital City.
Meng Xian looked around, her eyes taking in the towering skyscrapers and various novelties that had sprung up. She couldn’t help but exclaim, “The Capital has really changed a lot over these past few years!”
Gu Dai nodded with a smile, “Not just the Capital, other places have changed a lot too. When we have the chance, we should travel around the country.”
Meng Xian smiled, “That sounds wonderful.”
After her response, she appeared somewhat melancholy, “My body isn’t what it used to be. Just walking around a bit and I’m already suffering from back and leg pain, almost out of breath.”
Gu Zhe sighed, “These past few years, under their surveillance, we haven’t walked this much. It’s a bit hard to adjust now.”
Hearing his parents’ words, Gu Dai’s expression darkened slightly, determined to find the culprit and make them apologize to her parents.
Su Ting gently held Gu Dai’s hand.
Feeling the warm touch, Gu Dai gradually felt reassured and slowly returned from her thoughts, nodding slightly to Su Ting to indicate she was fine.
She softly said to her parents, “Mom and dad, when we get back, I’ll check your health and prescribe some herbal medicine. It will definitely improve your condition, making you feel like you did three years ago.”
Gu Zhe smiled, “I trust Daidai’s medical skills.”
Meng Xian added, “I can already imagine my health getting better.”
Upon returning home, Gu Dai examined his parents’ health and, finding no major issues, breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, a car stopping downstairs was heard.
Curious, Meng Xian wondered, “Could it be a guest? Let’s go down and see.” Following downstairs, they were greeted by Su Ci, who had come bearing gifts. Upon seeing Gu Zhe and Meng Xian, Su Ci was momentarily stunned, as Gu Dai resembled them so closely, it was like…
Recognizing Su Ci’s daze, Gu Dai understood what he was thinking, she introduced, “These are my parents.”
Snapping back to reality, Su Ci greeted them warmly and politely, “Uncle,
Auntie, hello. I’m Su Ci, Su Ting’s… brother.”
Gu Zhe nodded.
Meng Xian cheerfully said, “Hello, Su Ci.”
Xu Huan emerged from the bedroom, laughing, “Su Ci, you forgot to take your gift back the other day. Don’t forget it again today.”
Realizing his oversight, Su Ci embarrassedly replied, “Grandma, I was in a hurry that day and forgot. I won’t forget today.”
Xu Huan reassured, “Grandma understands you’re busy. Su Ting wanted to run after you that day, but you left too quickly.”
Su Ci paused, his gaze inadvertently shifting to Su Ting.
He remembered the phone call from Father Su after leaving Gu Dai’s house, and the content of that conversation…
Seeing Su Ting’s calm demeanor, Su Ci guessed he might not have heard, or else there would have been some emotional reaction. Relieved by this thought, he breathed easier.
Su Ci wished to stay by Gu Dai’s side to protect her, but seeing the lively scene, he felt it wasn’t the right moment and soon left after making some small talk..
